AS3X Stabilization

DELIVERS BREAKTHROUGH PERFORMANCE

The AS3X system for airplanes is an electronic

enhancement system that makes it possible

for you to experience super-smooth ﬂ ight

performance, yet still have full control authority

for sport or scale ﬂ ight.

Turbulence, torque and tip stalls are just some of

the many complications to assess when trying to

achieve smooth ﬂ ight. The Horizon Hobby world-

class team of RC pilots developed the AS3X system

for airplanes based on the successful use of AS3X

with ultra micro ﬂ ybarless helicopters. Specially

tuned for airplanes, the AS3X system invisibly

helps with complicated corrections, allowing you

to experience ultra-smooth ﬂ ight performance that

feels so natural that you’ll quickly build conﬁ dence

in the capability of the airplane.

AS3X system setup is simple. Just bind your

DSM2

™

/DSMX

transmitter to the model using a

basic airplane program and AS3X will assure that

the locked-in feel and control authority you want is

instantly at your command to help show off your RC

pilot skills.

AS3X will innovate the way you’ll want to ﬂ y now

and in the future. To see what we mean, go to

www.E-ﬂ iteRC.com/AS3X.

Battery Warnings

The included battery charger (EFLUC1007) has been

designed to safely charge the Li-Po battery.

CAUTION: All instructions and warnings must

be followed exactly. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries

can result in a ﬁ re, personal injury, and/or property

damage.

• By handling, charging or using the included Li-Po

battery you assume all risks associated with

lithium batteries.

• If at any time the battery begins to balloon or

swell, discontinue use immediately. If charging

or discharging, discontinue and disconnect.

Continuing to use, charge or discharge a battery

that is ballooning or swelling can result in ﬁ re.

• Always store the battery at room temperature in a

dry area for best results.

• Always transport or temporarily store the battery

in a temperature range of 40–120º F. Do not store

battery or model in a car or direct sunlight. If

stored in a hot car, the battery can be damaged or

even catch ﬁ re.

• Always charge batteries away from ﬂ ammable

materials.

• NEVER USE AN Ni-Cd OR Ni-MH CHARGER. Failure

to charge the battery with a compatible charger

may cause ﬁ re resulting in personal injury and/or

property damage

• Never discharge Li-Po cells to below 3V under

load.

• Never cover warning labels with hook and loop

strips.

• Never leave charging batteries unattended.

Li-Po battery and a Celectra

™

2S 7.4V DC Li-Po

Charger that requires a 12V (11V-14V) DC power

source.

Refer to the battery warnings. It is recommended

to charge the battery pack while you are inspecting

the aircraft. The ﬂ ight battery will be required to

conﬁ rm proper aircraft operation in future steps.

Please visit www.horizonhobby.com for optional

battery adapters.

Charging the Battery

The Battery Charging Process

1. Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not damaged. Look at the battery to make sure it is not

damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken or punctured.

2. The connector of the battery is speciﬁ cally designed to allow it to ﬁ t into the charge port one way to prevent

reverse polarity connection. However, check for proper alignment and polarity before proceeding to the next step.

3. Gently press the battery connector into the charge port located on the front of the charger.

4. When you make the connection successfully, the green LED blinking on the charger slows, indicating

proper connection.

5. Press the button on the charger. The red LED will illuminate, indicating charging has begun.

Charging a fully discharged (not over-discharged) 200mAh battery takes approximately 50–60 min-

utes at the charger’s 300mA charge rate. The included battery can be charged at a rate of up to 3C

(600mA).

7. When the battery is fully charged, the green LED will turn solid.

8. Always unplug the battery from the charger immediately upon completion of charging.

CAUTION: Overcharging a battery can cause a ﬁ re.

2S 7.4V 200mAh 25C

Transmitter and Receiver Binding

Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit to recognize the GUID (Globally

Unique Identiﬁ er) code of a single speciﬁ c transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum

DSM2

™

DSMX

technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.

Any JR

or Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to the AS3X

™

DSM

receiver. For best ﬂ ight

performance of the UMX

™

Gee Bee R2

™

, it is recommended that you use a transmitter with exponential and

dual rates. Please visit www.bindnﬂ y.com for a complete list of compatible transmitters.

NOTICE: When using a Futaba

transmitter with a Spektrum DSM module, reversing the throttle channel

is required.



Binding Procedure

1. Refer to your transmitter’s unique instructions for binding to a receiver.

2. Make sure the ﬂ ight battery is disconnected from the aircraft.

3. Power off the transmitter.

4. Connect the ﬂ ight battery in the aircraft. The receiver LED will begin to ﬂ ash rapidly, (typically after 5 seconds).

5. Make sure the transmitter controls are at neutral and the throttle and throttle trim are in the low position.

6. Put your transmitter into bind mode. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for binding button or

switch instructions.

7. After 5 to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will become solid, indicating that the receiver is bound to the

transmitter. If the LED does not turn solid, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide at the back of the manual.

For subsequent ﬂ ights, power on the transmitter for 5 seconds before connecting the ﬂ ight battery.

Installing the Flight Battery

1. Remove the battery hatch.

2. Attach the flight battery to the hook and loop

strip (A) on the battery tray. See the Adjusting

the Center of Gravity instructions for the

battery’s position.

3. Place the aircraft on the ground out of the wind

and connect a fully charged flight battery.

Ensure the aircraft is immobile for 5

seconds so the AS3X system initializes

correctly. See the Arming the ESC instructions

for correct connection of the battery to the ESC.

4. Install the battery hatch.

NOTICE: If using a different battery than the

recommended 2-Cell 7.4V 200mAh 25C Li-Po, you

will need to apply a circle of hook and loop fastener

to the battery in order to hold the battery in place.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po

battery from the aircraft receiver when not ﬂ ying to

avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries

discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest

approved voltage may become damaged, resulting

in loss of performance and potential ﬁ re when

batteries are charged.

If you accidentally connect the battery while the throttle is fully raised, the ESC will enter programming

mode. Disconnect the battery immediately.

The AS3X system will not activate until the throttle stick or trim is increased for the ﬁ rst time. Once the AS3X

is active, the control surfaces may move rapidly on the aircraft. This is normal.

AS3X will remain active until the battery is disconnected.

CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed, the motor will turn the propeller

in response to any throttle movement.

Arming the ESC

Arming the ESC also occurs after binding as previously described, but subsequent connection of a ﬂ ight

battery requires the steps below.

Lower throttle and throttle

trim to lowest settings.

Power on the Transmitter

then wait 5 seconds

Install ﬂ ight battery and

connect it to the ESC.

Keep plane immobile

and away from wind for

5 seconds.

Series of tones

Continuous LED

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per

cell, it will not hold a charge. The aircraft’s ESC

protects the ﬂ ight battery from over-discharge using

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Before the battery charge

decreases too much, LVC removes power supplied

to the motor. Power to the motor quickly decreases

and increases, showing that some battery power is

reserved for ﬂ ight control and safe landing.

When the motor power pulses, land the aircraft

immediately and recharge the ﬂ ight battery.

Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the

aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. Before

storage, charge the Li-Po battery to full capacity.

During storage, make sure battery charge does not

fall below 3V per cell.

Tip: Due to the quiet nature of the aircraft, you may

not hear the pulsing of the motor.

For your ﬁ rst ﬂ ights, set your transmitter timer or a

stopwatch to 3 minutes. Adjust your timer for longer

or shorter ﬂ ights once you have ﬂ own the model.

Flights of 4.5 minutes or more are achievable if

using proper throttle management.

NOTICE: Repeated ﬂ ying to LVC will damage

the battery.

You should bind your aircraft and transmitter before doing these tests. Move the controls on the transmitter

to make sure aircraft control surfaces move correctly and in the proper direction.

Make sure tail linkages move freely and that paint or decals are not adhered to them.

Control Direction Test

Settings for Control Horns

The following illustration shows the factory settings

for linkages on the control horns. After ﬂ ying,

carefully adjust the linkage positions for the desired

control response.

Aileron Elevator Rudder

Before the ﬁ rst ﬂ ights, or in the event of an

accident, make sure the ﬂ ight control surfaces

are centered. Adjust the linkages mechanically if

the control surfaces are not centered. Use of the

transmitter sub-trims may not correctly center the

aircraft control surfaces due to the mechanical

limits of linear servos.

1. Make sure the control surfaces are neutral

when the transmitter controls and trims are

centered. The transmitter sub-trim must be

always be set to zero.

2. When needed, use a pair of pliers to carefully

bend the metal linkage (see illustration).

3. Make the U-shape narrower to make the

connector shorter. Make the U-shape wider

to make the linkage longer.

Centering Controls After First Flights

For best performance with AS3X, it is important

that excessive trim is not used. If the model re-

quires excessive transmitter trim (4 or more clicks

of trim per channel), return the transmitter trim

to zero and adjust the linkages mechanically so

that the control surfaces are in the ﬂ ight trimmed

position.

1mm offset of Rudder

After centering the rudder, we recommend adjust-

ing the rudder linkage so the rudder center is 1mm

right (measured at the trailing edge of the rudder)

from center while rudder trim on your transmitter is

at neutral.

Control Centering

1mm

Dual Rates and Expos

To obtain the best ﬂ ight performance, we

recommend using a DSM2/DSMX radio capable of

Dual Rates and Expo. The suggested settings shown

here are the recommended starting settings. Adjust

according to the individual preferences after the

initial ﬂ ight.

If using the DX4e or DX5e transmitters, we

recommend activating Expo for smoother control.

For activation and deactivation of the Expo in the

DX4e and DX5e, see the next section.

NOTICE: Do not set your transmitter travel adjust

over 100%. If the TRAVEL ADJUST is set over

100%, it will not result in more control movement, it

will overdrive the servo and cause damage.

It is normal for linear servos to make signiﬁ cant

noise. The noise is not an indication of a faulty

servo.

Tip: For the ﬁ rst ﬂ ight, ﬂ y the model in low rate.

Tip: For landing, we recommend using high rate

elevator.

DX4e (Modes 1 and 2)

Activate and Deactivate Expo

1. Put the ACT switch in the down position

(ON) and the Rate switch in the down

position (LO).

2. Push and hold the trainer (bind) button

and move and hold the two sticks (as

shown here) for activation (A) or

deactivation (B), while powering on

the transmitter.

3. Release the trainer switch and the

control sticks only after a series of

tones sound (ascending tones for

activation, descending tones for

deactivation).

DX4e and DX5e Expo Activation and Deactivation

If you plan to ﬂ y your Gee Bee R2 with a DX4e or DX5e, disconnect the battery from the aircraft before

activating the Expo feature in your transmitter.

Once Expo is activated, it will remain activated for use subsequent power cycles of the transmitter. Once

Expo is deactivated, it will remain deactivated until it is activated again.

DX5e (Modes 1 and 2)

Activate Expo

1. Hold the aileron trim switch to the right when

powering on the transmitter.

2. Release the aileron trim switch after a series

of ascending tones to confirm that Expo is

activated.

Deactivate Expo

1. Hold the aileron trim switch to the left when

powering on the transmitter.

2. Release the aileron trim switch after a series

of descending tones to confirm that Expo is

deactivated.

Adjusting Center of Gravity (CG)

The CG location is 26mm back from leading edge

of the wing at the root. This CG location has been

determined with the included 2S 200mAh 7.4V

Li-Po battery installed in the front of the

battery cavity.

The battery tray is oversized to allow for Center of

Gravity adjustment. Start by placing the battery at

the front edge of the battery tray with the connector

plug facing the rear of the aircraft. Adjust as needed

by sliding the battery back or forward.

26mm

Flying

We recommend ﬂ ying your E-ﬂ ite

UMX Gee Bee R2

outside in moderate winds or in a large gymnasium.

Always avoid ﬂ ying near houses, trees, wires and

buildings. You should also be careful to avoid ﬂ ying

in areas where there are many people, such as busy

parks, schoolyards or soccer ﬁ elds. Consult local

laws and ordinances before choosing a location to

ﬂ y your aircraft.

Takeoff

Place the Gee Bee R2 in position for takeoff (facing

into the wind if ﬂ ying outdoors). Gradually increase

the throttle to full power, holding a small amount

of up elevator and steering with the rudder. Climb

gently to check trim. Once the trim is adjusted,

begin exploring the ﬂ ight envelope of the

Gee Bee R2

Landing

Land into the wind. This is very important for this

model. Fly the aircraft to approximately 6 inches

(15cm) or less above the runway, using a small

amount of throttle for the entire descent. Keep the

throttle on until the aircraft is ready to ﬂ are. During

ﬂ are, keep the wings level and the airplane pointed

into the wind. Gently lower the throttle while pulling

back on the elevator to bring the aircraft down on all

three wheels.

Failure to lower the throttle

stick and trim to the lowest

possible positions during

a crash could result in

damage to the ESC in the

receiver unit, which may

require replacement.

Over Current Protection

(OCP)

The Gee Bee R2 is

equipped with Over Current

Protection. OCP protects

the ESC from overheating

and stops the motor when the transmitter throttle

is set too high and the propeller cannot turn. OCP

will only activate when the throttle is positioned just

above 1/2 throttle. After the ESC stops the motor,

fully lower the throttle to re-arm the ESC.

Repairs

Crash damage is not covered under warranty.

Repair this model using foam-compatible CA glue

or clear tape. Only use foam-compatible CA glue

as other types of glue can damage the foam. When

parts are not repairable, see the Replacement Parts

List for ordering by item number.

For a listing of all replacement and optional parts,

refer to the list at the back of this manual.

NOTICE: Use of foam-compatible CA accelerant on

your model can damage paint. DO NOT handle the

model until accelerant fully dries.

Flying Tips and Repairs

HORIZON HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF

SUCH DAMAGES. Further, in no event shall the liability

of Horizon exceed the individual price of the Product on

which liability is asserted. As Horizon has no control over

use, setup, final assembly, modification or misuse, no

liability shall be assumed nor accepted for any resulting

damage or injury. By the act of use, setup or assembly,

the user accepts all resulting liability. If you as the pur-

chaser or user are not prepared to accept the liability

associated with the use of the Product, purchaser is

advised to return the Product immediately in new and

unused condition to the place of purchase.

Law

These terms are governed by Illinois law (without regard

to conflict of law principals). This warranty gives you

specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights

which vary from state to state. Horizon reserves the right

to change or modify this warranty at any time without

notice.

Warranty Services

Questions, Assistance, and Services

Your local hobby store and/or place of purchase cannot

provide warranty support or service. Once assembly, setup

or use of the Product has been started, you must contact

your local distributor or Horizon directly. This will enable

Horizon to better answer your questions and

service you in the event that you may need any

assistance. For questions or assistance, please direct

your email to productsupport@ horizonhobby.com, or

call 877.504.0233 toll free to speak to a Product Support

representative. You may also find information on our

website at www.horizonhobby.com.

Inspection or Services

If this Product needs to be inspected or serviced, please

use the Horizon Online Service Request submission

process found on our website or call Horizon to obtain a

Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. Pack

the Product securely using a shipping carton. Please note

that original boxes may be included, but are not designed

to withstand the rigors of shipping without additional

protection. Ship via a carrier that provides tracking and

insurance for lost or damaged parcels, as Horizon is

not responsible for merchandise until it arrives and is

accepted at our facility. An Online Service Request is

available at www.horizonhobby.com under the Support

tab. If you do not have internet access, please contact

Horizon Product Support to obtain a RMA number along

with instructions for submitting your product for service.

When calling Horizon, you will be asked to provide your

complete name, street address, email address and phone

number where you can be reached during business hours.

When sending product into Horizon, please include your

RMA number, a list of the included items, and a brief sum-

mary of the problem. A copy of your original sales receipt

must be included for warranty consideration. Be sure your

name, address, and RMA number are clearly written on

the outside of the shipping carton.

Notice: Do not ship LiPo batteries to Horizon. If you

have any issue with a LiPo battery, please contact the

appropriate Horizon Product Support office.

Warranty Requirements

For Warranty consideration, you must include your

original sales receipt verifying the proof-of-

purchase date. Provided warranty conditions have

been met, your Product will be serviced or replaced free

of charge. Service or replacement decisions are at the

sole discretion of Horizon.

Non-Warranty Service

Should your service not be covered by warranty

service will be completed and payment will be

required without notification or estimate of the

expense unless the expense exceeds 50% of the retail

purchase cost. By submitting the item for service you are

agreeing to payment of the service without notification.

Service estimates are available upon request. You must

include this request with your item submitted for service.

Non-warranty service estimates will be billed a minimum

of ½ hour of labor. In addition you will be billed for return

freight. Horizon accepts money orders and cashiers

checks, as well as Visa, MasterCard, American Express,

and Discover cards. By submitting any item to Horizon

for service, you are agreeing to Horizon’s Terms and

Conditions found on our website www.horizonhobby.com/

Service/Request/.
